Luke moved to Geelong in August 2016 to look for work and was successful in gaining a tiling apprenticeship through Gforce Employment Solutions in November 2016. Luke loves his apprenticeship and trade, he says it can be stressful, but the camaraderie with the other tradesmen, is something he enjoys and he likes the satisfaction when completing a job really well with quality work.
Luke’s host employer is very proactive in teaching Luke the skills of the trade and also mentors Luke in many other ways. Luke has proved to be an excellent employee, he learns quickly and eagerly and has a great work ethic.
